Hi CindyLynne!

When I was told by friends from Daves Garden that the plant I posted is an invasive pink trumpet vine (lower left ), I had a supporting structure built for it. As you can see in the picture, it is still in the process of being completed. The posts are made of rustic cement, formed to look like trunks of trees especially when painted. They are well -rooted to the ground and reinforced with steel bars. The top structure still has to be made.

I hope the vine would hold on to the posts and grow vigorously on top to provide shade. Just to make sure that I get the shade I want, I also intend to plant that Rangoon Creeper that you can see on the lower right side of the picture.The inside is spacious enough to have a couple of native hammocks for anyone to just chill-out while reading a book.
